FINDING YOUR PERSONAL STYLE
I’ve probably seen every single “Life In Looks” Vogue series on YouTube. If you haven’t, it’s a conversation where celebrites reminisce, using iconic style moments as a lens to explore the deeper narrative of personal or professional growth. It’s such a cool way of showing how fashion can narrate your journey without a single word.
Kate Moss: “You’re so short you’re never gonna work that much anyway!”
The look she reminisces about, such as her iconic Calvin Klein campaign, marked the moment she broke industry standards, defining the “anti-supermodel” era and embracing her uniqueness.
I find the evolution of one’s personal style SO interesting. And quite telling. When it comes to finding my personal style, I particularly enjoy the way my fashion sense changes alongside the journey of discovering myself. I sometimes look at throwbacks and my past outfit choices rattle me. Not that it’s a big deal; I’m pretty sure 99% of the time the vision made sense, or at least complimented what was cool then. I can’t seem to justify why every outfit of mine required a crop top, though. So Bella Hadid-coded. Slowly realising that no matter how often my style changes, the essence of the journey is captured in the fluidity and connections to the woman I’m becoming.
Life in Looks: They remind you of where you’ve been and how far you’ve come, making them a meaningful part of your personal journey.
I believe the journey to finding your personal style reflects a deeper, more introspective process – one that goes beyond surface-level fashion and trends. It’s not about rejecting conformity for the sake of being different, but rather about staying true to yourself while navigating the ever-changing world around you. The essence of personal style, begins from within. It’s an internal evolution that mirrors your growth, values, and experiences before it can be truly reflected in what you wear.
Just like in the series, your personal style is more than just about clothes – it’s about how those choices are influenced by your experiences, values, and inner development. Each outfit tells a story, representing a moment of change, growth, or self-discovery. Being on the search for your personal style is an ongoing process of adapting to new experiences, just as the celebrities in “Life in Looks” adapt their style as their identity evolves. Your style becomes a reflection of your personal narrative, much like the iconic looks seen in the series…
